The incident was reported around 2:25 p.m. at the entrance to the Qwik Lube on Fairlawn Drive next to the intersection with Reynolda Road. The scene was cleared shortly after 5:30 p.m., and no injuries were reported.

The truck jackknifed while trying to make a turn on an awkward hill, Winston-Salem police said. The trailer tilted at a nearly 45-degree angle, while all the tractor's wheels remained on the ground.

Emergency officials estimated about 25 gallons of fuel spilled. Crews transferred the rest of the fuel to another tanker, and the jackknifed truck was driven away from the scene.

Southbound Reynolda Road was closed from Fairlawn Drive to Woods Road. Fairlawn Drive was shut down from Silas Creek Parkway to Reynolda Road, as well as Oakland Drive.

The state DMV carrier division is investigating the incident. Winston-Salem police and fire officials responded to the scene as well.

There were no mandatory evacuations. The owner of a gas station across the street from the tanker said he was given a voluntary evacuation notice.
